Gamma Rays in the 100 TeV Region from Potential Galactic PeVatron Candidates


Free Download Gamma Rays in the 100 TeV Region from Potential Galactic PeVatron Candidates: Observation with the Tibet Air Shower Array and the Muon Detector Array by Sei Kato
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 180 Pages | ISBN : 981971642X | 50.6 MB
This book presents two candidates for astrophysical accelerators of cosmic rays with petaelectron-volt (PeV) energies in our Galaxy, the so-called PeVatrons, through the observation of sub-PeV gamma rays performed by the Tibet air shower array. The two gamma-ray sources are TASG J1844-038-a newly detected source in this presented work-and HESS J1849-000. Reconstructing their gamma-ray energy spectra up to the sub-PeV range and also analyzing the archive data published by a radio survey, the book discusses in depth the emission mechanisms of the observed gamma rays and suggests that these two gamma-ray sources are candidates for PeVatrons. The results give insights into the population of PeVatron in the Galaxy, which is important to consider their contribution to the PeV cosmic rays observed at the Earth.

Region and Place A study of English rural settlement


Free Download Brian Roberts, Stuart Wrathmell, "Region and Place: A study of English rural settlement"
English | 2003 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 185074775X | PDF | 35,2 mb
Using the data presented in their companion volume, An Atlas of Rural Settlement in England (2000), the authors offer preliminary explorations of some of the patterns revealed by comparing their new maps with the distribution of other types of landscape elements, archaeological sites and building styles. These two studies represent the culmination of a decade of research for English Heritage’s Monuments Protection programme. The Atlas defines the varied regional character of England’s rural settlement and the former distribution of cleared land, wooded land and open pastures, a quilt with origins daing from one or two thousand years ago or more. This volume explores some of the complext interactions and negotiations between the physical and cultural factors that underlie both national patterns and local and regional contrasts.

Ancient Anatolia The History of the Region’s Most Powerful Cities, Kingdoms, and Empires in Antiquity [Audiobook]


Free Download Ancient Anatolia: The History of the Region’s Most Powerful Cities, Kingdoms, and Empires in Antiquity (Audiobook)
English | ISBN: 9798868774720 | 2023 | 17 hours and 4 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 488 MB
Author: Charles River Editors
Narrator: Victoria Woodson

During the Late Bronze Age, from about 1500-1200 BCE, the Near East was a time and place where great kingdoms and empires vied for land and influence, playing high stakes diplomatic games, trading, and occasionally going to war with each other in the process. The Egyptians, Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians, and several smaller Canaanite kingdoms were all part of this system, which was one of the first true "global" systems in world history and also one of the most materially prosperous eras in antiquity. Thus, the transition from the Bronze to the Iron Age during the late 13th and early 12th centuries BCE arguably changed the structure and course of world history more fundamentally than any period before or since, and at the center of this period of turmoil was a group of people known today as the Sea Peoples, the English translation of the name given to them by the Egyptians.
